Ramadhan is just a few days away and McDonald’s has brought back some of our favourites with a whole new twist!

Leading this tasty comeback is Nasi McD, which now has the option to add-on an all new curry sauce for just RM1.50. The set comes with a side of coleslaw and Ice Lemon Tea, making it an awesome dish for buka puasa.

Another favourite is the Chicken Foldover – with two pieces of perfectly grilled, juicy chicken patties, topped with fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and an all new special sauce, all wrapped in a warm toasted flatbread. I must say that this new sauce is waaayyyy better and i absolutely love it!

4 years after i was born, the first McDonald’s landed in Kuching, Sarawak. And on its 25th Anniversary,which is this year, it finally gets a fresh new look! Like finally!

If you guys didn’t know already (because i didn’t), McDonalds Padungan was the first McDonald’s restaurant to open in the whole of Sarawak and it is finally remodelled as part of the organisation’s innovative plans to modernise experience for customers.

The transformation of the Padungan restaurant incorporates various new features and innovative customer service concepts, which include: –

Table service, where customers can order their meals at the front counter or via one of the ordering screens and choose the option for their food to be served at their chosen table.

Self-ordering kiosks (SOKs), where customers can place their own orders and customise their meals according to their preference.

Dual point service that enables customers to order through the SOKs or the front counter, before picking up their food when their order numbers are flashed on screen.

Cashless transaction convenience so that customers can easily pay for their meals using credit or debit cards.

Digital menu boards to showcase the menu and on-going promotions, improve customer experience when ordering over the counter.

High speed WiFi connectivity for the benefit of always-connected customers

Last Sunday I was invited to the launch of De Centrum Mall in Kajang. Since it only took me about 20 minutes from Puchong, I was more than happy to witness the official opening of the little quaint mall which is part of the growing community of De Centrum City by Protasco Bhd. Of course I just had to bring my two boys with me, it was family day (Sunday) after all.

The neighbourhood mall is part of Phase 1 of De Centrum City which will include a hotel, a convention centre, office towers and luxury condominiums to be completed in the next 10 to 15 years. So there’s definitely more to look forward to.

Ramadan is here! Which means Raya is just a month away! As we take this time to reflect on ourselves and do righteous deeds, it’s also a great time to lose some weight. Take it as killing two birds with one stone! I’ve known some people who tend to put on weight during Ramadhan instead, but god willing if done the right way, losing weight is definitely an option to be grabbed!

So if you’re looking to fully utilise this holy month, then check out these awesome tips that will almost definitely guarantee that you’ll lose weight.

Do not skip suhoor

Suhoor is your pre-dawn breakfast, so skipping it is just like skipping your breakfast, which means that it’ll just leave you even more hungrier when you break fast! Which means….. that you’re most likely to eat more and stuff your face with whatever you can much on!

What if i told you that there is a place where there are over 180 flavours to choose from for your milkshake, smoothie, frozen yogurt or shaved ice? And with those 180 flavours, you can work up millions of combinations and whatever your heart desires?

Well, you won’t have to wait till your in heaven for that because all that i mentioned above is possible in Shakeaway, the world’s largest milkshake bar in the world!(so they claim..)

When i was invited to their VIP preview of their new store in Sunway Pyramid, i was super excited. Who wouldn’t be? Creating your own milkshake with all of your favourite ingredients.. Mine would be Kinder Bueno, Ferrero Roche, Honeystars, M&M’s & Jelly Beans. But of course i’m not crazy enough to combine all of those into one milkshake, but the idea was really taunting.

Looking at their extensive menu selection, i was a bit overwhelmed with all the choices and combinations, so decided to try their best seller- Dave, a combination of my two favourite chocolate! Perfect! Continue reading
